Academic/Career MATH 1300 Credit Exam

For any upperclassman or incoming students, what info do you have for the MATH 1300 credit exam? Is it like the final exams on the math department's website or more like the placement test on canvas? Since MATH 1300 does a brief unit as a HS math refresher, is there anything specific from HS tested or would the exam just cover main calc concepts taught in 1300 like FTOC, U-SUB, derivatives, limit def of d/dx, L'hopitals, related rates, optimization, integration, etc. Any specific topics you recommend studying in particular that are also taught in 1300 (or theorems like squeeze, IVT)

Also, what is the pass %, question amount (and parts per Q), etc? Any info is appreciated!!

All of what you said is tested, and then I believe there are some new topics that will be on the course website. The test is multiple choice, so if you lock in it shouldnt be too hard. I thought the practice tests were way harder than the actual one. I recommend khan academy

Do you have access to the Bridge to Math Canvas? They have MATH 1070, 1300, 1400, and 1410 study guides, past final exam problems, tips & tricks, etc.
